The main
research areas of the First
Department of Internal Medicine,
Division of Gastroenterology
and Hepatology, include both,
clinical topics as well as
basic
science.
Molecular mechanisms of cellular
signal transduction involved
in colorectal cancer, are studied
within the framework of several
projects. As a result, we have
focused our interests upon
the
exploration of anti-carcinogenic
effects of secondary plant
extracts
and the secondary prevention
of colorectal carcinoma through
nutrients and therapeutics.
Clinical research focuses
on
the development of innovative
drug therapies in inflammatory
bowel disease as well as in
chronic hepatitis C. Hereby,
the First Department of Internal
Medicine, Division of Gastroenterology
and Hepatology, participates
in many multi-center intervention
studies, some of which under
the leadership of our institute.
